There is nothing wrong with a fruit pizza, but it is my understanding that you should not generally mix fruits and vegetables together.

The Swedes also eat lutefisk at Christmas Eve dinner

No accounting for taste

I don't consider "roots". I consider, does it taste good?

And I don't know about this one.

I like curry, I like bananas. But I do not think I would make this at home. However if I am ever in a restaurant and they have it, I might try it.

Hard to know what they mean by ‘curry’, but if it’s a coconut milk based curry, that curry with ripe bananas doesn’t sound appetizing to me. But de gustibus non est disputandum.

People mix fruits and vegetables all the time in cooking.

I mean technically most vegetables are actually fruits so you would have to do so.

So, no tomatoes and avocado in salads? No pizza with mushrooms or peppers? No post pasta primavera?

The reason why you aren’t supposed to do that is because fruits and vegetables have different ratios of carbohydrates and protein.. Fruits are higher in simple sugars and are broken down sooner and vegetables tend to be higher in protein, so they take longer to digest.

It probably won’t hurt, it’s just no optimal to mix them.

Fruits break down sooner than vegetables in your digestive system.

I think tomatoes are ok, because the vitamin C helps break down leafy greens. I think they mean other fruits.

As a cook I can tell you that fruits and vegetables are mixed all the time.

Everything breaks down at different rates in your system. Even the same base food will break down at a different rate depending on how it is processed

You think you should only eat a single food at a time?

I have to admit that is one of the odder diets I have ever heard of but you do you I suppose.

I’m well aware of what people do, but the advice is simply that mixing them is not the optimal diet. There is a difference between optimal and allowable. I suppose it also comes down to the strength of your digestive system as well. If you are a bit more fragile in this area, it’s probably better advised to not mix the two.

The Swedish geniuses are also idiotically/suicidally late vomiting out their muslim invitees/newcomers.

My Swedish in-laws used to eat pig’s feet during Christmas.

Should you then also not eat meat and vegetables together, since they digest at different rates.

I don’t know.
I only know that they advise eating fruits and vegetables separately.

Sounds about as logical as turkey gravy over angel food cake. No thanks.
